Three Things the Message Teaches

Every laboring man, whether in ag-
ricultural or ma ufacturing pursuits,
will see and fully understand that the
message distinctly teaches three
things, viz:
/. That no tariff law shall he en-
acted that does not fully protect the
difference between the wages Of labor
at home and abroad in competitive
productive industries.
2. That it demands enlarged free
raw materials to enlarge our produc-
tive industries by cheapened products
without cheapening labor, and thus
increase industry by increasing both
markets and consumption.
3. That it calls for reduced taxes
on the necessaries of life, and propos-
es to cheaper articles of indispensable
use. while maintaining taxes on luxu-
ries, to increase the purchasing power
of the fruits of labor, whether in shape
of wages or of the immediate products

The Detroit Journal Boycott.

The Detroit News has declared war
upon its successful competitor, the De-
troit Journal, and has sent perempto'
~ orders to news agents and dealers
throughout the State. telling them that
they "must drop the Detroit Journal"
This is proving bonanza for the
Journal, for the majority of people
do not like the idea of being BULLDOG
ed. The Detroit Free Press recently
published the following editorial upon
this subject:
1t is frequent boast of the Even
ing News that it has large circula-
ton, and that this circulation has been
attained on the merits of the paper
that is, as it has also put it, that the
people buy the commodity because
they desire it and because they think
it worth the money. tits natural and
proper that the News should make
every legitimate effort which it thinks
the case warrants to hold its circula-
ton and prevent the encroachment of
a rival establishment which has SINH
lar goods to sell. 1t appears from
what the Evening Journal says, and
its statements have not been denied,
that the News. not content with legit-
innate effort, has resorted to the "boy-
colt" as a means of strengthening its
own position and crippling that of the
Journal. This is not the method of
conscious strength and power, and is
wholly inconsistent with the logic of
the News. If its wares are better
than those of the Journal, nothing
should please it better than the COM
parison and competition which sales
from the newsstand afford if they are
not as good. no withdrawal Of the pat
ronage of the News from offending
newsdealers who sell the Journal can
prevent the growth and sale of the
latter, 1t is almost incredible that
the News is so blind as not to see that
no policy could be better calculated
to build up its afternoon contempora-
ry than the one it is pursuing.

Governor St. John, the great Pro-
hibition leader, in a speech recently
delivered says "there was duty on
foreign goods, but the scum of foreign
labor entered Free" 1t tells the truth
in a few words as to how tariff pro-
tects American laborers by making the
necessaries of life dearer, while at the
same time the pauper labor of Europe
comes in free of tax to compete
against them in the labor markets.
The tariff, as it stands, does not pro-
tect the workman. To protect him
there should be prohibitory tariff
on imported laborers.

The Poor House.

Taxes are heavy enough in this
county, and those citizens who own
houses and lots and farms have heavy
burdens to carry. Consequently we
have not the heart to urge public i'm
provements as much as we should like.
There is always something needed and
absolutely necessary. First, there
was Court House to build; then
new school houses were absolutely nec-
essary; then new Jail had to be
built, and in fact there has been and
is every year constant need of i'm
provements. The tax ranges from
about three per cent. to over seven,
according to what part of the county
the assessable property is'in.
Improvements, however, must be
made. There can be no cessation, and
the next needed improvement is a
new poor house. The antiquated,
badly arranged present poor house of
this county will have to be replaced
with better and more commodious
building, and in order that the taxes
may not be too heavy, some economy
must be made in other expenditures
for instance, we think court ex-
penses can be considerably reduced.
When the poor house was first built
it answered very well for the purpose
it was intended for, but it has out
grown its usefulness. and before many
years pass. it will have to be replaced
by new one.
Thursday last we paid visit to the
house. 1t is under the management
of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Hassett, and
judging from its internal appearance,
we are of the opinion that they are
the right persons to manage it. Every
part we saw, and every bedroom, was
clean and orderly and warm. The
beds are comfortable ones and are
well supplied with warm and clean
clothes. The tenants were one wom-
an aged sc years, and five men whose
ages ranged from 30 to 81 years.
One of the inmates had lost both legs
The mems sitting room is in the mar
row crooked hall in the second story.
The halls both upstairs and down are
only about three feet wide, and the
stairway is a miserably arranged af
fair. This year it became necessary
to build stairway leading from out
side the building. A great want,
sometimes, is place separated from
the main building, that can be used
as hospital.
The nationality of the present in
mates is Irish, American, Swede and
Scotch. During 1887, there have been
10 different persons inmates Of the
house, of which three were females.
Twelve were from this county, two
from Detroit, two from Sand Beach,
and from New York, Black River
and Mud Lake, one each.
During 1887 there was one death
and one birth. To warm the house
requires five stoves, and 45 cords Of
wood are needed during the winter.
On the farm this year were raised ten
tons of hay, 30 bushels of potatoes
and 70 bushel of oats. The live stock
consists of one COW and about 40
poultry, and the cost of keeping the
house and feeding the poor for the
last fiscal year was $1,000. of which
the keeper gets s420. We believe il
to be we'll managed both as regards
the inmates and the tax payers.

Wednesday, Dec. 20. 1857.

The taxpayer will not maintain a
tariff for surplus. Business will no
longer carry the burden of 100000
900 needless taxation. The taxes to
be first abated are those that bear
hardest on the greatest number
namely, the war tariff upon the ne
cesities of life and the essentials of
manufactures. Against these hard
facts the clubs will rattle in vain.-N
